Starting System
The Starting System in a vehicle is designed to initiate the engine's operation, enabling the car to start and run.
This system includes the starter motor, which turns the engine over, the ignition switch, which activates the starter, and the battery, which provides the necessary electrical power. The starter motor engages with the engine's flywheel to turn it and begin the combustion process.
This system is critical for the reliable functioning of any vehicle, as it sets the entire engine in motion.
